About the Pro-Life Classroom Project

FIXME integrate about#design section from seminars page.

Vision

The vision of the Pro-Life Classroom Project is to have well-informed, well-formed, well-educated campus club members who are well-trained in the apologetics of the mind and heart, and who are tested and ready to engage their peers and the public in a dialogue about life issues.

Key Goals

  1. To form and educate pro-life club members on campus
  2. To provide a regular environment to learn about life issues, practice apologetics, discuss questions and challenges
  3. To give leaders a chance to learn how to educate their peers

Strategy

Some important considerations:

  • Short, frequent, consistent sessions (Suggested: 1-2h weekly)
  • Mix of presentation/dialogue
  • Activate and develop student leaders by giving them an opportunity to educate their peers
  • Develop a curriculum that can be used by any club, implemented easily (like NCLN club manual)

Tactics

  • Each session should include:
    • Brief presentation (50-75%)
    • When relevant, role-playing or breakout session (25%)
    • Time for questions (25%)
  • Variety of presenters:
    • Primary, strong exec member(s) who commit to implementing curriculum for the year and oversee the program (e.g. Education Coordinator / Professor)
      • Make it work
    • Secondary, invite other student leaders to lead seminars on topics of interest
      • Activate leaders, give them an opportunity to engage more deeply with material by teaching it to others
    • Special Occassions: Guest speakers, to provide longer presentations to the club on areas of expertise
